“What are we going to do this winter break?” Namjoon’s voice echoes in the kitchen. It’s a rare occasion when he’s allowed to touch Seokjin’s precious kitchen set. Today is the day after Christmas and the parents of the house decided to clean the mess they did last night. Seokjin opens the oven, he wants to surprise the kids with his infamous freshly baked chocolate muffins. Namjoon smiles when Seokjin claps his hands, he always does that after doing something related to his cooking.
“Oh, i haven’t told you about this, my parents are calling me this morning,” Namjoon sips his morning coffee.
“And? Nothing bad happened, right?” Seokjin grabs Namjoon’s cup and sips it. Namjoon kisses Seokjin’s on his lips.
“Yeah, but mom wants me to go to Seoul until mid January.” Namjoon frowns hearing that. Being a producer is easy for him but he’s famous already in America. He can’t use half of his holidays early in the year right?
“Um, do you know i have to be here after new year?” Seokjin laughs, his hands cup Namjoon’s face.
“Yes, i know. I’m planning to bring Jimin though,” Namjoon kisses his forehead and smiles.
“Why is it only me?” a boy sits on one of the chairs in dining room and already munches the muffin. It’s Jimin.
“Good morning, Jimin. You’re grounded today because you steal the muffin without my permission and it’s not good to overhear other people’s conversation.” Jimin shrugs.
“At least i’m going to Seoul and away from Jungkook in this long winter break.” and Namjoon laughs loudly at his kid’s antics.
ii.
Jungkook, the youngest of the boys, finally hears the news after wake up from his long slumber.
“Okay, so dad and you are going to Seoul a week from now and i’m here with appa?” Jungkook’s head is on Seokjin’s laps. The family is lazing around in their house.
“Yes, Jungkook. What did I tell you about calling Namjoon and I with ‘hyung’?”
“You are like my parents already. It’s such a privilege from us hearing we call you ‘dad and appa’,”
Namjoon shifts his gaze from the TV.
“I don’t mind with the kids calling us like that. Everyone knows we’re their parents, Seokjin,” Seokjin sighs. He always loses to Namjoon.
“Appa is probably busy with his music so i’m okay? Have fun hyung,” Jungkook smacks Jimin’s head and Seokjin scolds him.
“Don’t be violent to your brother.” Jungkook scoffs but he hopes Seokjin knows about a word called ‘jokes’.
They end their night quite early. The city is still loud but all of them are already in their respective rooms even though Jungkook is playing overwatch until midnight. Namjoon usually showers after Seokjin but today he wants to do it with him.
“Promise me you won’t do anything else,” Namjoon smiles smugly and Seokjin already knows the answer.
After the long bath session, they don’t do anything beside rubs each other’s backs and kisses the wet hair, they settle themselves to bed.
“I’m so sleepy,” Seokjin is hugging Namjoon’s arms. He wants to cuddle with his husband but Namjoon wants to check his emails briefly.
“I can’t believe next week i’ll sleep alone,” Namjoon fakes a cry and Seokjin laughs.
“I’m sorry but i always sleep by myself everytime you choose your second husband!”
“It’s called music, honey, i dont have another husband.” Seokjin hits Namjoon’s arms and laughs.
“Promise me you won’t break anything,” Seokjin takes Namjoon’s pinkie and hints him to do the pinky promise.
“That’s the third time you make me to do this pinky promise thing.”
“You always break something, Namjoon. I’ve even got headache for thinking what foods Jungkook will eat for two weeks.” Namjoon closes his Macbook. He sighs.
“We can order McDonalds, don’t worry.”
“You don’t say. You are married to a nutritionist and McDonalds? For two weeks?” Seokjin rubs his face, he’s having nightmares with Namjoon’s plan.
“Don’t worry baby, I can always bring him to a vegan restaurant.”
But Seokjin believes he’s not going to do that.
iii.
A week passes, Seokjin and Jimin are already in their flight to Seoul. Seokjin cooked a big amount of healthy foods the night before his flight for Jungkook although Jimin knows Jungkook will only eat that for two days and will order McDonalds for the remain days with his appa.
“Appa, i’m hungry” Jungkook pats Monie, their dog, while Monie is sleeping on his lap.
“Eat something from the fridge.” Namjoon plays with phone, he’s so bored since Seokjin isn’t here. Monie’s half awake and move his position to Namjoon’s lap.
“Ugh, i really hate Seokjin and his foods full of vegetables,” Jungkook mumbles loudly but an hour later he’s out from kitchen with his annoying face written with ‘I’m full’ expression all over his face.
The following days are pretty smooth. They’re still saved by Seokjin’s homemade foods but on the sixth day, Namjoon worries about what they should eat for the dinner. Jungkook’s out with Taehyung, his neighbor’s son, and he’s alone in the house. He has been thinking about cook some easy foods but all he could think is just...ramen. Seokjin probably will smack his head for eating those. He’s so deep in his thought about this ‘what should i cook tonight’ thing until he doesn’t know that Jungkook is already at home.
“What are you doing?” Jungkook wears his varsity jacket and a basketball on his right hand. Namjoon guesses Jungkook is doing sport things today.
“Um, we run out of foods today.” Jungkook sits beside Namjoon.
“So? Are you asking me McDonalds’ delivery number?” Namjoon shakes his head.
“I don’t want to feed you with McDonalds, so we have to cook for dinner.”
“What?” Jungkook swears he’s going to die tonight.
“Another ‘what’ coming from your mouth or i won’t cook you anything.”
As Jungkook has guessed, Namjoon’s terrible cook. He burns one of Seokjin’s pan collection and end up patching a bandaid on his thumb. Before everything goes to bigger disaster, Jungkook decides to take the job. He simply cooks omelette, at least it’s not unhealthy.
“Don’t you dare to tell Seokjin.” Namjoon rubs his doraemon bandaid, Jungkook smirks.
“I’m still going to tell him.” Namjoon groans, he couldn’t help but feeling the same.
On the next day, at 6 in the evening, Jungkook tells Namjoon he wants to call Seokjin. They haven’t called either Seokjin or Jimin this week because they don’t reply Jungkook and Namjoon’s messages in their family group chat and Jungkook concludes they are likely busy doing fun things with Seokjin’s parents. It’s 11 in the morning in Seoul and Seokjin must be occupied with preparing lunch. Jungkook waits and after the third rings, a soft ‘Hello’ is heard. Seokjin and Jimin are in the living room, and a loud ‘Jungkook, you should come here!’ by his grandparents are making him laughing.
“How about Namjoon? Do you eat everything i cooked for you?” Seokjin fixes his glasses, Jungkook takes notes to ask him why he doesn't use his contact lenses.
“He doesn't look so sad that you’re far away from him, but he does look gloomy.” Seokjin knows that well. Namjoon always looks sad when he’s away from his little family.
“I’ll talk to him later. Where is he anyway---” and Seokjin’s heart skips a beat. Beside Jungkook there is Namjoon dressed in his black t-shirt maybe taking a recess time from studio and hears them.
“Hello, honey, Jimin!” and Jimin shouts him back.
They talk for about an hour consisting of Jungkook’s ‘I miss Jimin hyung’ but ‘I wish you stay forever in Seoul and don’t ever think to come back’ after Jimin teases him about Taehyung. Seokjin is always laughing next to them and Namjoon is telling him about the accident but shortly after that he’s back to his studio because something just pops out in his head. They end the call with Seokjin saying ‘I love you, Jungkook. Please say to Namjoon i’ll call him later.’
iv.
Namjoon glances at the clock on his studio and realizes that it’s already 10 in the evening. Jungkook must be sleeping or playing games in his room right now. He checks his phone and makes a shocked face when Instagram notifies him that Seokjin posts something. His smile is reaching his eyes when he looks at it; it’s the screenshots from their earlier video call. Another thing startles him, Seokjin just sends him a message that he’s going to drag him for a date when he goes back because he’s successful for taking care of Jungkook. He is going to kiss Jungkook before he goes to sleep later. What a smart kid.

“Are you seriously gonna write that ‘Another date with ♡’ caption?” Namjoon asks Seokjin while putting his hands on Seokjin’s waist.
“So cringy,” and Seokjin laughs while his thumb moving on to post that photo.
